Purgatory Artist-Chapter 130: Spiritual Inheritance

"These trash are so useless!"

Libertas stepped on the headless corpse of a soulless and said in boredom.

After a few hours of fighting, he and Liu Ping had cleared out all the soulless on the road.

Perhaps because what happened before had already spread — — -

The two of them weren't disturbed by any other youngsters on the way.

The end of the village was already in front of them.

The road was cut off here, the scene in the distance was covered by a layer of grey fog, making it impossible to see anything.

Liu Ping stood in the middle of the road and reached his hand forward.

He felt a layer of transparent, glass-like substance.

Lines of burning words appeared in his mind:

[You've touched the concealment barrier]

An old voice then resounded:

"Libertas, Liu Ping, you've done very well, you've obtained an Excellent grade in this trial."

The two of them turned around at the same time.

Only to see the old man in charge of the class standing on the side of the road, smiling at the two of them.

"May I ask what's in front of us, why can't we go there?" Liu Ping asked.

The old man replied: "You're interested in that? There's someone sleeping in front of us, we can't disturb their slumber."

He waved his hand.

At the end of the road, the grey fog scattered, revealing a deep darkness.

In that darkness, a huge grey skull silently lay on the ground, blocking a slope that led downwards.

The skull was so huge that it occupied their entire line of sight.

If you looked closely, you'd notice that below the skull, there was a long vertebra that connected to it, going all the way down.

"It's sleeping?" Liu Ping doubtfully asked.

"Yes, it's sleeping, and it's been sleeping for over 1300 years, until three days ago, when it let out a faint breath." the old man answered.

Liu Ping asked: "Then these soulless — —"

The old man explained: "They were originally dead people of our human race, but they were contaminated by that breath and lost their souls."

Lines of burning text appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes:

[Slumbering heroic spirit discovered.]

[Trigger conditions met, the second ability of this Sequence has been activated]

[From now on, you may use the second ability of this Sequence: Spiritual Inheritance]

[Note:]

[You must collect enough essences to meet the conditions for Spiritual Inheritance]

[You've seen a sleeping Heroic Spirit:?????]

[Please collect the following elements:]

[Blood of the Dead, Earth Nether Grass, Wraith Powder, Silver Dagger, Iron Inlaid Wooden Shield, Broken Holy Covenant.]

[After you've gathered all the elements, please come here and activate 'Spiritual Inheritance'.]

[Once the Spiritual Inheritance is activated, you will awaken this slumbering heroic spirit:???? I'll obtain a blueprint from it. ]

Liu Ping could not help but ask, "What's on the blueprint?"

A line of burning words replied

[There is something on the blueprint that is suitable for your current card level——]

[Maybe it's the manufacturing method of a certain equipment, or the whereabouts of a certain mysterious item, or a knight's cultivation method, or a unique skill, or even a secret.]

[In short, before we get the blueprint, we don't know what it will be.]

Liu Ping thought for a moment and asked, "In other words, we steal a piece of knowledge that belonged to it?"

[It's not stolen, it's inherited] The sequence corrected.

Liu Ping looked at the void in front of him and saw a small light spot at the corner of his vision.

This was the "Spiritual Inheritance".

— — Touch people's things while they're sleeping.

You call that an inheritance?

Liu Ping thought for a bit and sighed: "This inheritance is too spiritual."

[It is called Spiritual Inheritance] the sequence solemnly replied.

"Sequence, you haven't done anything for so many years, but now you've unlocked two abilities at once, I'm not used to it." Liu Ping joked.

Another line of burning words appeared:

[In 16 hours, you'll become one of Yana's cards and face Aldrich's deck. The sequence hopes that you'll still be this amusing at that time.

Liu Ping pondered: "How long will this Divine Seat Combat last?"

Another two lines of burning words appeared:

[You'll have to keep fighting until 5 years later, when Aldrich wakes up from the Eternal Night as a dead person]

[At that time, you'll have the final battle to decide who the Divine Seat of Torment belongs to]

"... That long?" Liu Ping asked.

[It can't be helped, the Divine Seat Combat is an advanced Causality spell, even if you've escaped from that timeline, you'll still have to face the current Aldrich] The sequence answered.

Liu Ping's gaze shifted slowly and landed on the notifications from before.

[Blood of the Dead, Earth Nether Grass, Wraith Powder, Silver Dagger, Iron Inlaid Wooden Shield, Broken Holy Covenant.] ...

Let's hope that these things aren't hard to find.

Taking a step back, the reason why the sequence is so nervous is probably because Aldrich isn't easy to deal with.

After all.

His Master is the 'Matriarch' that even Yana can't afford to offend.

The more Liu Ping thought about it, the more serious he became.

I can't lose!

If I lose, not only will Yana die, I won't be able to survive either.

At this time, the old man waved his hand and the grey fog closed, the giant monster's head disappeared from Liu Ping's vision.

The old man drew a card from the void of space and put it on the ground.

"Cleanup work is done, the migrants can move in," he muttered.

The card turned into a flash of light and went into the ground.

Rumble rumble — — -

The ground cracked open.

A deep tunnel appeared in front of the three of them.

Not too long later, a train came out from the tunnel and slowly stopped.

The door opened.

Quite a few people got off the train and climbed up the stairs.

"Is this where we're going to live?"

"Although it's a bit dilapidated — —"

"But there's finally a safe place to live."

"That's grea.t"

These people discussed among themselves.

Liu Ping glanced over and saw that there were about 200 of them, all of them very normal people.

A few uniformed people came in front of the old man and bowed: "Sir."

"Hm, don't worry about us, quickly settle them down and start farming tomorrow, otherwise, the food shortage in this area will continue to grow" the old man said.

"Yes sir!"

A few of them nodded and led the group to the center of the village.

The old man turned around and told Liu Ping and Libertas, "The so-called food is the Eternal Night crop used to maintain the form of the soul. If we don't eat this food, we can only sleep to ensure the stable existence of our souls — — but humanity is so weak, if we fall asleep, we won't have any means to protect ourselves."

Libertas asked: "What's up with those people just now?"

"They're normal dead people, responsible for farming, using this kind of work to exchange for the Empire's protection," the old man answered.

Libertas said: "But there's a monster outside the village — —"

The old man cut him off and said: "There are monsters everywhere in Eternal Night, that guy just now only breathed once every 1000 years — — for normal people, this is already an extremely safe place."

"We're responsible for fighting the monsters, isn't that right?" Liu Ping asked.

"Simply put." the old man answered.

"How strong is the enemy?" Liu Ping asked again.

"A few hundred years ago, the Empire defeated countless monsters and took over a large area of land, but at the last moment, we accidentally woke up a sleeping monster. That guy was mighty... we almost lost the Empire." the old man said.

"The enemy is unpredictable." Liu Ping commented.

"That's right, you have to be mentally prepared. If you can win, kill them as soon as possible. Otherwise, you don't know what other tricks some monsters might have up their sleeves." the old man reminded them.

"Thank you for your reminder." Liu Ping said.

Libertas stayed silent for a bit, then sighed: "If I knew we'd face such a dangerous situation after death, I would've lost to that brat at the time"

The old man smiled and said: "Let's go, we should return and distribute your resources and lodgings"

He drew a card from the void of space and muttered: "Returnees, Liu Ping, Libertas"

Two streaks of light shot out from the card, enveloped Liu Ping and Libertas, then shot into the sky and landed on the hillside outside the village.

There were already a few uniformed people waiting for them here.
